More Oreos needed in Aisle 4

According to this website, a state cannot take part in the production or distribution of an immoral substance. I would hazard a guess that the author of the "Against" portion of this article has not noticed the prevalence of cigarettes and alcohol in stores around the USA. Nor has this author ever been to a bar. It seems to be that not only do the states of our country, but the federal government itself take part in distributing and profiting in this "immoral" trade. If you were to take the effects of alcohol and measure them next to the effects of pot, one would notice that pot doesn't leave a person incapacitated. As an EMT, I have seen my share of drunk people at many levels of intoxication. Some people can't talk, can't walk, or even think. I have also seen people who have been smoking weed. While these people are clearly under the influence and may desire an in depth conversation about how many grains of sand on on the beach, they are able to think, walk, talk, and function. While I do not agree with anyone driving under the influence of any substance, I do not feel as afraid of a high driver compared to the terror of touching bumpers with a drunk driver. Pot is not a dangerous drug. You can't OD on it, users don't get violent on it, and people could grow their own supply of it. The simple fact that people could grow their own supply destroys an entire market for dealers! Private cultivation also control purity of product. The grower knows exactly what he/she is getting. It is long past time that the use and cultivation of pot is legalized. Marijuana is a natural product, just like cigarettes. While more people may smoke pot if it is legalized, I think it is a better choice over drinking. Not only that, throwing people in jail for pot is foolish. It is a waste of federal dollars and a quick way to destroy families.
